Buggin' Out

  • Saturday, May 13, 2023, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

What's that bug!? Join our educator to learn about insect lifecycles and the role they play in our environment. Some are native, some are invasive, but they all play a part in our ecosystem AND have special characteristics that make them different from other species. After learning about some NYS insects, the group will head outside to catch some along the trails and get an up-close view of these characteristics and adaptations. Get ready to bug out!

Fee

The fee for this program is only $4.00 per person up to $12.00 per family. Children under the age of three are free.

Philosophy

The best way to learn about ecology is to be out in it! Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center is a laboratory where youth and adults can observe nature first hand, alone or under the guidance of one of the Center’s Environmental Educators. Public programs often feature guest presenters who are recognized leaders in the fields of wildlife management, outdoor education, and botany. It is also the Center’s belief that learning should be fun.
